:3d_frown: Start getting a lot of smoke coming in the car and alot of smoke out of my tail pipe. So much that i smoked the whole local highway. got it home and notice alot of oil in my IC and coming out of my AFM, wtf could the problem be? Is it the oil seal in the turbo and do in need to upgrade? Does the ct-26 have a lot of problems? Obi-One you are my only hope.:1zhelp:

first thing with smoke is what color is it? blue is oil and white is coolant. maybe you already knew this and already diagnosed it as blue oil smoke. are you loosing oil or coolant? the ct is not known as a problem turbo to my knowlege. there will always be alittle oil in your vac lines and ic pipes due to your pcv, so you have to decide weather or not it is excessive. if oil is hitting your turbine carbon will build up on the blades, you can pull the elbow/dp and look for carbon, check for shaft play(worn bearings). a clogged oil drain or coked center section can also cause oil smoke but i dunno how likely this is. when is the last time you did a compression test?
